This one always stands out.

Bloomberg's Tax Lesson[1% are paying 50% of the taxes][New York]

'"One percent of the households that file in this city pay something like 50% of the taxes," explained the Mayor. "In the city, that's something like 40,000 people. If a handful left, any raise would make it revenue neutral. The question is what's fair. If 1% are paying 50% of the taxes, you want to make it even more?"'
